Hash Algorithm

Better… for what?
MD5 is usually faster, SHA3 is generally more secure but slower.

It all depends on what you want to use it for, what reasons.
It’s a bit like car tyres – there’s all sorts but them average man can use almost any tire on the market in complete safety (the law requires that); only high speed, high acceleration, off road, snow/ice, require specialist tyres.
Same with the hashes – the average use would be for SHA2/3 512, or MD5 for file checking.
“The current strongest encryption algorithms are SHA-512, RIPEMD-320, and Whirlpool. Any one of these algorithms are worthy of protecting top secret level information for your business.” (from that link)
